Albert, Prince Consort
Bolitho, Hector
David Bruce & Watson Ltd London 1970 Revised Edition
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hardcover 550 g; XIV, 250 pages, includes references and notes, bibliography, index. Illustrated with eight black-and-white plates. Illustrated dust jacket. The dust jacket is rubbed along the top and bottom edges, and appears to have had a piece of tape horizontally across the centre of the spine section, which when removed, has also removed some of the colour. The front fold over flap is price clipped. This is evidently a revised edition of the 1964 edition which was also revised. (Page XIV). "Although it is fairly certain that Albert and Prince Philip would have disliked each other on siight, they have both been guided by the highest sense of duty. It is this sense of duty, in spite of considerable hostility and dislike of the "foreign ways", that make Albert's life of such interest. If he had accomplished nothing else, his influence on the dealings with Union States of America, just before his death, would insure him an important place in British history. -- front fold over blurb Biography -- Royalty Good

Ladies in Waiting: From the Tudors to the Present Day
Somerset, Anne
ISBN: 0753819872
Phoenix Press August 28, 2005
8vo softcover 342pp very good. Far from being servants or decorative accessories in court, ladies-in-waiting competed for real positions of power--and many succeeded in their goals, sometimes betraying their queens in the process. A few even became royal mistresses, such as the rapacious Lady Castlemaine who amassed a fortune and flaunted her hold over King Charles I. Drawing on a wide variety of primary sources, including the diaries of such shrewd onlookers as Lady Cowper and Fanny Burney, bestselling author Anne Somerset provides a guide to the character, profligate or pious, of each court. This lively combination of entertaining anecdote and searching analysis is social history at its most colorful.
